Although, it had previously been agreed that this telecon should begin to move to the next steps of the methodology, given the small 'attendance' , this was not progressed.

3) EGU General Assembly (Vienna, 2-7 May)

BW raised the possibility of an informal meeting of this Conceptual Modelling group at the EGU, which he was attending, and expected others from the group to be attending

ED thought the Ben Domenico might be attending

NEW ACTION A25: BW: To mail out at to group to see if there is sufficient interest for a meeting in Vienna (EGU)

4) TC meeting (Silver Spring, DC, 14-18 June)

AB asked if there were plans for a meeting of the MetOcean DWG at the next TC meeting, and offered to host this meeting.

AC thought that the Frascati TC had agreed to arrange a DWG meeting in Silver Springs.

NEW ACTION A26: BW: To contact Marie-Francoise Voidrot and Chris Little to check the plans for the silver springs TC and pass on AB's offer to host.

5) INSPIRE

AC asked whether INSPIRE had plans to develop a data format standard & about the tie-in of activities between this group and INSPIRE

BW said that it was early days, with the membership of the INSPIRE Annex II and III Thematic Working Groups only just having been confirmed and a meeting of the Editors and Facilitators for the TWG currently taking place.

However, we are reasonably well represented on the Atmospheric Conditions + Meteorological Geographical Features TWG: both FG and BW are on the group

The hope is the the activity of the INSPIRE TWG and the OGC Met-Ocean DWG will be closely aligned, andwe would expect to feed the development work on our Use Cases into the INSPIRE work.

6) AOB

AC was after a GRIB dataset with full set of parameter and times over 24 hour period to facilitate consideration of the mapping to web service parameters - AB kindly agreed to make such a dataset available.

Next scheduled Telcon (4 April) clashes with the EGU General Asembly, which may make is sensible to cancel this meeting.
